The aim of the competition is to support journalists whose work enhances the knowledge of Poles and Germans about the neighbouring country and positively influences the quality of Polish-German relations.
We invite journalists from Poland and Germany who prepare articles or reportages (press, radio, television, online), photo reportages, as well as books on:
– challenges for Polish-German cooperation in Europe and the world;
– the functioning of civil society in Europe;
– everyday cooperation in border areas;
– ecology, including in the context of European energy policy
Funding may cover the costs of research for an article or reportage (press, radio, television, online), photo reportage, or book – in Poland, Germany or neighbouring countries.
Journalists (with a professional track record) permanently residing in Poland or Germany may apply for the fellowship. The fellowship amounts to a maximum of EUR 2,500 (the amount depends on the nature of the research).
The application should include a CV and one representative publication, the concept of the planned work, and a cost plan.
